@ Derbig re: OT NPR Tuesday segment
I listened to Tennessee Va Chaplain Thomas Phillips grapple with the toll of war segment and he is trying to do what Bebop/GC does for us, remember the horror of war and the ultimate sacrifice- death. He gets an daily email listing the latest deaths and has a hard time dealing with the reality of yet another family having to undergo the terrible day that a loved one will never again grace the family with his or her presence. He said that he wished that the names appeared in the corner of the TV screen while we were watching The Price is Right or House and then maybe we would slow down and reflect on war and what it really means to our nation.
Some print media periodically run pictures and PBS NewsHour consistently gives a brief glimpse of the Busheviks latest victims. The Busheviks prohibit coverage of the coffins that return to Dover AFB from Iraq and Afghanistan so that they and the American people will become apathetic about this tragedy.
